Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

The next day

In the lobby of the Awakening Center, a pale blue energy barrier completely shut out the noise from the outside world, and the air was filled with a unique coolness, which was the energy particles that the Awakening Stone had been dissipating over the years.

Today is July 15th, the annual and highly anticipated Career Awakening Day at East City Fortress.

A full hundred years have passed since the game called God Realm invaded reality.

Over the past century, humanity has gone from being helpless and on the verge of extinction to gaining a foothold through the bloody battles of the first awakened professionals, and now to building a survival circle centered on urban fortresses, relying on the power of professionals to protect a piece of land. The blood, tears and sacrifices have long been engraved in the bones and blood of every generation.

Career awakening becomes a life-or-death threshold for every teenager at the age of seventeen.

Awakening to a combat profession allows one to join the ranks of guardians, gaining higher social status, more abundant resources, and even the ability to hunt monsters in dangerous divine rifts to obtain unimaginable power.

However, if one awakens to a profession, most can only work in logistics at the bottom of the urban hierarchy.

Although it is possible to change jobs later in life, everyone knows that unless you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth and have the backing of a large guild or high-ranking officials, ordinary professionals will never be able to touch the threshold of changing jobs in their lifetime unless they are extremely lucky.

In a corner of the crowd, Lin Chen lowered his eyes, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the creases of his sleeve.

No one knew that this seemingly taciturn, even somewhat dull, young man harbored within his soul a top-tier expert from thirty years in the future.

In his previous life, Lin Chen was a man standing at the top of the human pyramid, with a level of 420.

He lost both his parents at a young age and grew up on relief grain from the East City. From the time he could remember, he practiced diligently with a rusty iron sword, training hard in the coldest winter and hottest summer, honing his solid swordsmanship skills through sheer hard work.

At the age of seventeen, he awakened his combat-type profession: swordsman.

Swordsman is the most common and ordinary combat profession, but this profession happens to be a perfect match for Lin Chen's personality.

With his extraordinary swordsmanship talent and ruthless fighting spirit, coupled with a bit of just the right amount of luck, Lin Chen grew into a top expert capable of soloing challenging dungeons over the next thirty years.

He once fought for a day and a night in the Valley of the Dead, slaying 300,000 skeleton soldiers. He also once ventured into the deep sea demon realm and tore apart a level 180 abyssal octopus monster with his bare hands.

His most glorious battle was in the dragon's lair, where he single-handedly killed a dark dragon with a danger level of 400. That battle made his name resound throughout all human cities.

His immense strength and humble origins made him a savior in the eyes of the public.

Three years passed after that battle.

The biggest rift since the game's inception appeared. On that occasion, the top experts from the major human factions united to form a small team. After three months and suffering heavy casualties, they eliminated the invading monsters and finally obtained a treasure deep within the ruins.

Although its function is unknown, it is a rift that even Lin Chen and other powerful individuals had to pay a heavy price to deal with. The treasures within must have extraordinary effects.

But just as he was about to return to the human base, someone made a move.

The person who carried out the attack was his teammate who had gone through thick and thin with him.

"Lin Chen, don't blame us, it's better to have one less person to share this treasure."

"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too solitary. You're powerful but uncontrollable. I don't even want to think about letting you grow any stronger."

"A golden opportunity! Don't worry, we'll tell you that you died in battle along with those men when we get back."

The excruciating pain from the piercing blade, the狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious) face... became his entire memory of the last moments of his life.

At that moment, all that remained in my heart was overwhelming hatred and resentment.

Despite being on the same side and despite humanity's already dire situation, the infighting has never ceased.

If only I could do it all over again...

If he could do it all over again, he would make these treacherous bastards pay for their crimes in blood!

"Next up, Lin Chen!"

The cold voice pulled Lin Chen back to reality from his agonizing memories. He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging anger in his chest, and slowly walked towards the awakening platform in the center of the hall.

The boys and girls around him subconsciously took a step back, their gazes towards him filled with indifference, and even a hint of barely perceptible disdain.

Lin Chen was an oddball at school.

Quiet and reserved, he prefers to be alone and doesn't like to talk or socialize. In his spare time, he either hides in a corner to practice his sword or spends his time in the library reading those dry materials about the divine realm.

Such people are destined to be unpopular among teenagers.

Of course, Lin Chen didn't care about any of that.

Since waking up three days ago on his seventeenth birthday and finding himself back in the three days before his professional awakening, he has been focusing all his energy on reviewing information and making plans.

Although this body is still very weak, the sword skills he gained from twenty years in his previous life, as well as the combat experience accumulated from countless life-and-death battles, are deeply imprinted in his soul.

This is his biggest trump card, and the source of his confidence in his rebirth.

Unlike ordinary games, God Realm does not have the concept of "health points".

Here, beheading is beheading, throat-slitting is throat-slitting, and an arrow through the heart is a fatal wound.

Skill is the key to success in the early stages.

Lin Chen clearly remembered that in his previous life, there was a combat master who, with his superb combat skills, managed to kill a monster ten levels higher than himself.

He himself, relying on his swordsmanship skills, has escaped death countless times in dire situations.

Besides his skills, he has a major advantage – the information gap over the next thirty years.

Humanity has only been in contact with the divine realm for a century, or thirty years, which is almost a third of humanity's history with the divine realm.

Which dungeons hide hidden monsters? Which monsters have fatal weaknesses? Who are trustworthy, and who are wolves in sheep's clothing?

This information was obtained at the cost of countless lives and blood, and it is his greatest asset in his rise to power.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should still be a swordsman in this life." Lin Chen stood at the bottom of the Awakening Platform, his gaze fixed on the floating crystal. He quickly calculated in his mind, "In my previous life, after I awakened as a swordsman, I spent half a year honing my level, and then joined a team of professionals."

"I followed the team to grind monsters and do quests. With my precise skills, I leveled up very quickly and reached level 70 in just four years."

Level 70 is already considered a high level among professionals.

Level 100 is the level cap for ordinary professions.

In the Divine Realm, professions are divided into four ranks: Common, Elite, Hero, and Legendary.

Each rank advancement means a dramatic change in combat power.

Above the legendary, there may be even higher levels, but those are beyond the current scope of human understanding.

Swordsman is just a low-level, ordinary profession with a level cap of only ninety-nine.

Once you reach the limit, there's only one way to continue improving your strength—change your class.

The opportunity to change jobs lies hidden in special dungeons deep within the divine realm. Only by venturing into those dungeons and finding the specific trigger conditions can the job change event be activated.

Lin Chen's luck in his previous life was ridiculously good.

Two years after leaving that team, when he was twenty-three, he unexpectedly triggered a job change event in a special dungeon called "The Land of Staffs and Swords".

Because of his mastery of dual-wielding skills and his extremely high level of swordsmanship, he successfully triggered a special event and changed his class to the elite profession of Magic Swordsman.

At that time, he had completed less than 20% of the strategy for the Kingdom of Staffs and Swords dungeon.

After that, Lin Chen simply settled down in the Kingdom of Staff and Sword dungeon.

Over the course of ten years, relying on resources and battles within dungeons, he gradually broke through his limits, transforming from a magic swordsman to a magic warrior, and then from a magic warrior to the legendary class—the Destroyer.

The Destroyer has a level cap of 499!

This level cap was unprecedented, even during the most prosperous period of humanity in the previous era.

Countless professionals spend their entire lives without ever reaching the threshold of a legendary profession, but he, through ten years of experience, has acquired that power.

It has to be said that Lin Chen's luck is truly exceptional.

"My skills are still there. In this life, I can double the speed." A glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. "I'll spend a year leveling up, and then immediately go to the Sword and Staff Kingdom dungeon to trigger the job change event."

"In five years at most, I will be able to regain the strength I had in my previous life."

Five years.

Thinking of this number, Lin Chen couldn't help but clench his fists slightly.

Five years is enough time for him to grow.

Revenge must be taken personally.

Only by crushing them directly can you vent your anger.

Only in this way can the overwhelming hatred deep in his soul be dispelled.

Therefore, even though he now clearly remembered the information about those traitors in his mind—their current names, their awakened professions—he did not take action immediately.

Seeking revenge now would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

He is just a weak teenager now, without strength, resources, or influence. If he acts rashly, he will only risk his life.

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.

He can wait.

"Place your palms on the Awakening Stone and concentrate your mind."

The awakening guide beside him spoke expressionlessly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Every year on Awakening Day, he repeats this phrase countless times, until he's become numb to it.

In his view, a young man like Lin Chen would most likely awaken a very ordinary life profession, or if he was lucky, he might awaken an ordinary combat profession like a swordsman, and wouldn't cause any trouble.

Lin Chen stepped forward as instructed, extended his right hand, and slowly touched the surface of the Awakening Stone with his fingertips.

A familiar cool sensation came over me, spreading from my fingertips to my limbs and bones, exactly the same feeling as in my previous life.

He closed his eyes slightly and concentrated.

Soon, he will be able to awaken the swordsman class, just like in his previous life.

Soon, he will be able to embark on his path of revenge.

He will soon be able to return to his peak.

However, the expected situation did not occur.

The instant his palm was completely pressed against the Awakening Stone, a deafening buzz suddenly rang out, as if a thunderclap had exploded in his ears!

The Awakening Stone, which originally shimmered with a faint seven-colored light, suddenly burst into a dazzling silver-purple halo, like ignited explosives!

The light was so intense, like a small purple sun, that it illuminated the entire Awakening Hall in every detail!

Even more astonishingly, this silver-purple light pierced through the thick alloy dome of the Awakening Center, soaring straight into the sky and illuminating the sky above the East City Fortress with dazzling brilliance!

A piercing alarm blared throughout the fortress almost at the same moment the light burst forth!

"Warning! Warning! Unknown energy fluctuation detected! Energy level exceeds the maximum threshold!"

"Alarm! Alarm! An anomaly has occurred at the Awakening Center! Request immediate support from the defense force!"

The awakening guide in the hall suddenly widened his eyes, and the numbness on his face was instantly replaced by horror. The recording terminal in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud," and the screen shattered.

He stared intently at the semi-transparent panel floating above the Awakening Stone, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

"This...this is..." The guide's voice trembled deeply, as if it had been sanded clean, "It's a hidden class!"

Before Lin Chen's eyes, a panel visible only to him also appeared. The words on the panel were etched deeply into his mind, like a brand:

【Name: Destroyer】

[Rank: Legendary]

[Level: 1]

[Talents: Combat Insight, Killing Instinct, Destructive Power, Slaughterer...]

[Skills: Magic Penetrating Cannon, Annihilation....]

[Synopsis: A hunter walking the mortal world, whose essence, any ability, is ultimately for the purpose of killing and destroying his opponents.]

A dark purple halo enveloped Lin Chen's body like a tide, and a powerful force surged wildly through his limbs and bones.

The power was so great that his bones made a slight "creaking" sound, his muscles were rapidly expanding and contracting, and every cell was cheering with joy.

"This..." Lin Chen froze on the spot, his mind reeling as if countless thunderbolts were exploding. "I obtained this class through that dungeon, why is it now on me...?"

Destroyer!

That was the legendary profession he finally reached after spending ten years breaking through layer by layer in the Kingdom of Staffs and Swords dungeon, progressing from swordsman to magic swordsman and magic warrior! It was the reliance he had on standing at the pinnacle of humanity in his previous life, and the ultimate goal that countless professionals dream of!

But now, he is just a seventeen-year-old boy who hasn't even stepped into the threshold of the God Realm yet, and he has already awakened this legendary profession?

This sudden turn of events caused his meticulously crafted five-year plan to collapse instantly.

The silver-purple light on the Awakening Stone grew even more intense. Wherever the light reached, the pale blue energy barrier rippled and emitted a humming sound as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

The boys and girls in the hall were so shocked that they couldn't speak. They stood there, their mouths agape in an "O" shape.

The indifferent gazes that had been directed at Lin Chen were now replaced by utter stunned silence and intense envy. Those who had previously mocked Lin Chen's aloofness were now gaping, forgetting to breathe, their faces filled with disbelief.

Hidden profession!

It's a hidden profession!

And judging from the commotion, this isn't just any ordinary profession!

This is unprecedented in the history of Dongcheng!

"A hidden class! It's a hidden class!" The guide finally snapped out of his daze. He shakily picked up the recording terminal from the ground, his fingers trembling as he frantically typed on the screen. "We've actually produced a hidden class user in East City! And their rank... is even higher than a Heroic class! This is a miracle!"

He felt as if he had seen the dawn of humanity's future, and his heart was filled with immense excitement.

In this era where monsters are getting stronger and rifts are becoming more numerous, everyone knows what the appearance of a powerful professional means.

The alarms were still blaring, and the higher-ups at East City Fortress had clearly noticed the anomaly.

Soon, heavy footsteps approached from afar, and a group of soldiers clad in black armor, exuding a fierce aura, rushed in.

Their standard armor was engraved with the fortress's emblem, and the specially made firearms in their hands gleamed with a cold metallic luster. Every single one of them exuded a strong aura of killing intent.

This is the garrison that has been stationed on the edge of the East City Rift for many years!

The leader was an elderly man with white hair and beard. He was not tall, but his presence gave people a sense of imposing presence, like that of a mountain.

As soon as the old man entered the room, his gaze was fixed on Lin Chen, and an astonishing light burst forth from his cloudy eyes.

He strode to the Awakening Platform, ignoring the blinding silver-purple light, and reached out with trembling hands to stroke the Awakening Stone, feeling the immense power flowing within it.

"A legendary profession..." The old man's fingers trembled. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with excited redness. "It's actually a legendary profession! Our East City has actually produced a legendary professional this time!"

"quick!"

After a brief moment of shock, the old man whirled around and shouted sternly at the guards behind him, "Seal off the entire Awakening Center! No one is allowed to approach! No one is allowed to spread the news! Also, immediately report to the Divine Realm Administration Headquarters! Tell them that a legendary professional has awakened in our East City Fortress!"

"yes!"

The soldiers in black armor immediately sprang into action, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. The once noisy hall was now completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of the people remaining.

Lin Chen finally snapped out of his shock and looked down at his hands.

His hands were still thin, but he could clearly feel a world-destroying power lurking within his body.

He gently clenched his fist, and an invisible wave of energy spread out, scattering the surrounding energy particles in all directions.

Combat insight allows one to see through their opponent's weaknesses at a glance.

The killing instinct allows one to remain absolutely calm in battle, unaffected by any emotions.

Destructive power; attacks have the effect of annihilating everything.

The Slayer grants him double experience after slaying monsters...

...

In his previous life, he painstakingly and meticulously cultivated the power he had acquired. In this life, he possessed it right from the start!

Lin Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.

In his previous life, he was betrayed and died with resentment.

In this life, he started at his peak!

Those traitors who betrayed him, those powerful demons entrenched in the depths of the divine realm, will all be utterly helpless before him!

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the shocked faces before finally settling on the old man.

The old man felt his gaze and quickly turned around. "Young man, I am Wei Shan, the garrison commander of the East City Fortress!"

"From this day forward, you are the first seed of our fortress! If you have any needs, just say the word. If it's within my power, I, and the entire East City, will certainly grant them!"

As the owner of the hero-level class, the Archmage, Wei Shantai understands the importance of class level.

Ordinary, Elite, Hero, Legendary – the gap between each rank is an insurmountable chasm.

It's no exaggeration to say that professional ranks represent a double crushing of both upper limits and combat power.

The surrounding boys and girls then realized what was happening, and their gazes towards Lin Chen completely changed. Indifference, disdain, and contempt vanished without a trace, replaced by fervent worship and awe.

Hidden profession!

It's a hidden class with legendary rank!

They had only seen this kind of profession in history books. Every owner of this legendary profession was a chosen one, with unlimited potential for future achievements!

Awakening to this level of professionalism means that from the moment of awakening, Lin Chen has stood at a height that countless professionals can never reach in their entire lives!

He is no longer that isolated oddball; he is the hope of East City Fortress and the future of humanity!

Lin Chen ignored the fanatical gazes around him; his mind was now filled with hatred from his past life.

Five-year plan?

no need.

A year?

There's no need for that.

He now holds a legendary profession and possesses twenty years of combat experience.

Many of those traitors are currently just inexperienced newcomers. With his current starting point, he could crush them in a year at most!

But Lin Chen did not act immediately.

His gaze gradually turned cold and sharp, as the lessons of his past life rang in his mind like a warning bell.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The emergence of a legendary professional is bound to attract the covetousness of various forces.

The Divine Realm Administration, various professional guilds, high-ranking officials of other forces, and even those schemers hiding in the shadows will all turn their attention to him.

He's like a kid walking down the street with a gold brick in his arms—seemingly glamorous, but actually fraught with danger.

He needs time.

It will take time to control this sudden power, time to accumulate resources, and time to level up.

"Commander Wei," Lin Chen said, his voice not loud, but it drew attention.

"Young man, you speak!"

"Keep the news under wraps." Lin Chen's gaze swept over everyone present. "My information cannot be leaked."

"No problem, that's for sure. After all, there are always scoundrels among humanity. I'll give the order right away: everyone must sign a confidentiality agreement. Anyone who dares to leak information will be court-martialed!"

"Also, please help me gain experience immediately." A hint of urgency flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. "I need to level up as soon as possible."

No matter what profession it is, even a legendary one, they all start at level one.

Although his basic attributes far exceed those of ordinary professionals, his level is too low and his strength is still limited. He needs to improve himself as soon as possible.

"Besides that, there's equipment and support for the team—"

"No problem! Everything's fine! I'll arrange it right away!"

He never expected that this newly awakened legendary professional would be so calm, completely unlike a young man.

Generally speaking, when such young people rise to prominence overnight, much like a poor person suddenly becoming rich, they often become extremely arrogant.

Confidence is not wrong; that's what strong people are all about.

But boundless arrogance can easily bring about one's own demise.

Being too rigid can lead to breakage; it's always better to be calm and low-key.

"Just you wait, you scum."

"In this life, I will make you taste the most painful flavors in the world!"

Lin Chen made a vow in his heart.

.....

"Reborn, what a classic concept."

Looking at Lin Chen, who was making a vow in his heart, Luo Kunlun pondered, "But speaking of which, this profession is actually directly rooted in the True Spirit."

With his broad perspective, it was impossible for him not to see the basis for all of this.

Lin Chen's rebirth actually led him to another seemingly parallel world.

This is not hard to notice.

Not to mention Luo Kunlun, once Lin Chen calms down, he will find that some things and people in this life are different from those in the previous life.

As for professions, in Luo Kunlun's view, it's simply about adding something to the true spirit.

Changing jobs is essentially making a second modification to that thing.

"As for the experience gained from killing monsters and leveling up, it's actually source matter?!"
